50 Not Out.

[PDH]

It's overrated. The sex several times in a day, not the 50 part.

It has only been overrated when I am getting it.  Last month...overrated.  This month, sadly underrated.

Only birthday that had any real significance to me was 18.  Legal adulthood.

18 and 21 were very cool.

Turning 30 didn't affect me much, I was pretty happy and in a good place.  My little brother turning 30 4 years later affected me more.

I turned 40 3 years ago, that was the roughest ofo my birthdays so far.  I am dreading 50, but at 7 years away it isn't much more real than 70 or 80.

Both of my parents turn(ed) 70 this year and my youngest daughter turns 18 right after Christmas.  All of those have me more jacked up than any of my own personal birthdays so far.

Meh, I just put an extra round in the cylinder for the Russian Roulette Birthday Bash Extravaganza.  Beats adding more candles to the cake.

I learned recently that on average electricians only live 5 years after retiring.  That works pretty well with my retirement plan, so Im pretty excited.

Whoa, Mongers is 50?
Why do you keep acting like a teenager?

[Valmy]

I have set certain goals to reach by the time I turn 40 in 2017.  That is pretty much the only reason that milestone means alot.  If I make it, it will be one triumphant feeling.

What's your age again?

Every birthday is a time for panicked depression

I don't think I ever really got depressed over birthdays as I got older, or as I hit milestones like 30, 40, etc. I expected that I should feel depressed but it never really happened. Probably turning 30 was the most significant number because it seemed to signal the beginning of the end of youth, the beginning of getting older.

I celebrated my 21st birthday by working a third shift at a big box store.  That was a depressing milestone.

I had proposed to CB a week before my 40th birthday and moved to Florida a few months before that.  That was a period of change for me, but change for the better.

What are your 40 goals (if you don't mind sharing)?

Yes, same for me.

I'm 57 later this month, most of the future milestones are pretty cool and involve getting pensions, senior discounts and so on.
